Why This Meal Is A Winner

These muffins are soft, tasty, and just the right size for little hands. They use simple ingredients that kids enjoy, making them a perfect snack or breakfast option. Plus, they can be customized with fruits or chocolate chips to suit different tastes.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep muffins tender.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

Directions

Lightly heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with a bit of coconut oil. While the oven warms up, soak the raisins in some warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up, then drain and chop them roughly. In a mixing bowl, cream together the coconut oil, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, mashed bananas, applesauce, and grated carrot until everything is well combined. Fold in the flours, flax seed, chopped raisins, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract gently using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups and pop them in the oven. They’ll take about 18 minutes to bake—check by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, they’re done. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve these muffins warm with a little butter or jam. They also pair well with a glass of milk or a side of fresh fruit to make a balanced snack or breakfast. Perfect for lunchboxes or after-school treats.

Storage Guide

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped individually and thaw at room temperature when ready to eat. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a fresh-baked feel.
